Icom R20 - likely causes of radio not powering up

[g8tzl2004]

I wonder if there are any typical stock causes of the R20 not powering up and appearing dead?

Assuming the battery is charging OK, are there any other typical causes?

Maybe stuck keys, failed fuse, inter board flex cables requiring reseating?

Just wondered if there are a standard set of likely causes?

Hopefully there are not many major hardware faults with the R20 although I read about a sub-CPU problem when it split in two!!

Thanks

This may or may not help you.... sometimes it gets stuck.... removing the battery and then putting it back in might help. However, I do not know the cause of this.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback.

No problem! The R20 usually gets stuck and freezes up when it is turned on, however.
